...sorry about not contributing more yesterday, guys. Computer is acting retarded, I was tired, and when things finally got fixed late last night I'm pretty sure I got hacked/a virus from one of those spam threads on here. Bleh.

So, yeah, as I said: thought I was hacked last night. Pretty sure I was. Everything - from links, to tabs to whatever opened a new window when I clicked on it. Virus? Probably. It's not doing it anymore now, but if I did have one, I'm pretty sure it's just hiding.

But whoever gave it to me is spying on the wrong man!.... lol, literally I have nothing

So today is bench day. Gonna try again to hit 70kg for 5x5. If I'm feeling badass, 72.5 for reps, too. Gonna do some lighter reps on the OHP again, too, since that worked so well last time. And if I decide to go again on Wednesday instead of tomorrow, I can get some squat work done, too... we will see.

Played quite a bit of SPORE yesterday, and will do so today. I do this thing we I create a race or Faction - from my book and then play them out. It's what I do, I'm a nerd.

Though I kinda lost my crap completely when the Templar Order (pretty much humans, my current race) was vvisited by... I don't know? A more primitive, or more advanced version of their species? You tell me:9Sx2DbS.png
Basically, this mofo started tearing apart mini versions of his own race and their city. It was hilarious, but really annoying. We got him in the end though. Conquered a two cities after that that tried to do the same to us. We'll be in Space in no time... just as soon as we rule the world.

Protein coffee in hand? Yep. Writing ready for day? Games? Check. Road code? FML! The person I booked for driving with this week cancelled, so I have to reschedule. Pain in the arse.

Ah, well. Will update this again when I get back from gym, will now reply to threads I missed replying to yesterday.

Remember how we said that it was a conspiracy that everyone started to get ill seasonally? Well, *they* realised they couldn't get you through illness, so they instead hacked your computer. I believe it was a warning....o.O

Ahh, gaming. Sometimes nonsensical; always entertaining. Never played that before. May have to pick it up when I actually have money. :P

It's so much fun xD THE TEMPLAR ORDER ARE NOW IN SPACE!

Notes:

Bench SUCKED for some reason. Was lacking in strength, probably due to crap sleep. OHP wasn't much better. Will get good sleep Thursday night.

Tried some core exercises for the first time. Weren't too bad, felt doable. Will implement them in future training.

Somne guy - talkative, wouldn't shut-up old dude - said I had a "chunkier" build that he did. This dude was the same height as me with a bit of a gut, and staring at us in the mirror, I looked bigger than him. Though he stated weighed 65 and I'm weighing 62, I looked more physically imposing, particularly in the shoulders and chest (couldn't see legs due to shorts and I have small calves)... I felt pretty awesome. Flattered/10

NUTRITION

Post Workout KiwiyoAcziNJy.jpg
A tub of "peanut butter" Kiwiyo. Sure, peanut butter isn't primal, but this ice cream is technically low fat anyway, so no PUFA's. Win/win. It was also full of deliciousness.

Slice the sweet potatoes into very thin chips and stick in the oven at around 180 for 20-30 minutes; in the mean time, caremlise your onions in the butter then add the meat, stir til browned then add the canned tomatoes and optional veggies as well as spices of your own choice (paprika, tumeric, etc); let simmer a boil for a good bit, then serve when sweet potato chips are done. Top with whatever you like.

I notice same thing when I'm not getting enough sleep : / It happens sometimes, but it's gonna get better, I'm sure!

It's so unfair.. They aren't available in Poland : / I'll have to fly to Auckland with a freezer and get some!

Have a nice day mate !

Yea, lack of sleep usually = lack of strength gains. Pain in the arse. Ruins my appetite, too, have to force myself to chug food down. That's where dates/chocolate come in handy.

Oh, damn. That gave me an idea: chocolate covered dates. Holy crap.

Damn right you should! Ha, that would be you and ebrady. That'd actually be pretty cool. We could all chill, grab some Kiwiyo, lift at the Y and grab some grass-fed beef nachos for PWO dinner and spend the night playing video games.
Dammit now I wanna hang out with people. Look what you lot do to me :3

Kiwiyo and a Protein ShakeG253HB8.jpg
Finished the other tub of peanut Kiwiyo because I'm a fatarse, though this time I had some protein to go along with it. Fun fact, pouring chocolate on top of PB ice cream is like pouring angel juice into holy water - it was delicious, is what I'm saying here.

Garlic shrimp fried riceZuJEhbv.jpg
With sliced celery, brocolli and macadamias - haven't had the latter in ages, but I LOVE THEM!

Clearwaters Creamy Rice Pudding9R0ZjoG.jpg
<3
I only buy this as a rare treat because it's fairly expensive, but it was on special, so... And oh my God, it's the best rice pudding ever. Creamy, smooth, slight twist of honey flavour... hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng....

Cottage cheese and blueberries9hqVDvB.jpg
Late night snack I had while my sis and I were watching Star Trek 2. CC and berries are delicious. Again, I have to thank Adrian for reminding me of this - haven't had cottage cheese in my fridge in a while. Motivation, bro

Macros:P: 178gF: 72gC: 330gTotal Kcal: 2683kcal

330g carbs?!!! What am I, on a low carb diet? Lol, kidding, but that is quite a bit less carbs than I've had in awhile, had a bit more proteinz than usual, but meh, that's why I'm more flexible with what I eat - I enjoyed every sip of that shake, every mouthful of that cottage cheese and every damn delicious garlic buttery shrimp.

But, more importantly, today is the 4th month anniversary my girlfriend and I have been dating <3. Unfortunately my net was dead last night (hence why I posted yesterdays macros today) so we couldn't talk, but I got a text at 1am telling me to check my emails and - lo and behold - she's sent me a love letter and a pic of when we went on our first date. Which was, funnily enough, at Kiwiyo (after a Mexican place, of course... didn't just take her out to an ice cream place, not that tacky )

We like to think that technically we've been dating for about 7 months because we were pretty much spending every day together before we started dating, but, officially, yea, 4 months going strong

On Monday, since it's my birthday, my family and I are doing what we do every year: Valentines Resteraunt: an all you can eat buffet. Sure, I have to call ahead and make sure there are some gluten-free desserts ahead of time, but I'm so excited! Not only are close family friends coming along, but for the first time, my girlfriend's coming to.
Not to mention there's gonna be some damn awesome eats going on there.

As for now and today? I just finished a protein coffee:DcDcnxg.jpg
1 scoop protein poured in slowly, 7g coconut oil and 3tsp gelatin. Coffee flavour is hazelnut. Deliciousness/10 = solid 9.

Now I'm gonna read the email from my girlfriend, check out the forums a bit then hit the the gym for some squats. Aiming for reps of 60kg, but won't let my ego get ahead of me - if I start to have my form slip, back to 57.5. I'll also toss in some leg press and those core exercises - core exercises will be on lower days, I decided, 'cause it kinda makes more sense - and some assistance leg work.

Anyway, I hope everyone has an excellent day!

P.S: What should I have for dinner? I have a 500g pack of beef mince sitting in my fridge so I was thinking maybe burgers, but I don't know... Ideas?
